Crops grown mainly to feed animals are called "forage crops". Forage crops are plants that are grown to provide forage for livestock. They are rich in nutrients and are used to feed animals like cows, sheep, goats, horses, and others. Some examples of forage crops include alfalfa, clover, grasses, and other legumes. These crops are usually harvested when they are young and tender, before they have a chance to produce seeds, and are fed to animals either fresh or dried.
